L.T. Lanier: I have Scott Washington in 1900 and 1910 in Adams Co. MS. I have his DC 1917 in Adams Co. MS. His marriage record shows a Jack Westrope as his bondsman.

L.T. Lanier: Jack Westrope shows up in the Adams co. records from 1910 forward. hi yatah Jack also shows up on county tax records living near Scott Washington in Wilkinson Co., MS on the Bunker Hill Plantation.

alt: hello vkn

L.T. Lanier: This was prior to 1900. Jack Westrope also shows up in 1880 census and 1870 census.

vkn: Good afternoon to all

L.T. Lanier: In 1870 Jack is living with Mary Walker as Jack Watrob and also with a Scott Walker in the household. hi vkn

yatah: HI VKN

vkn: and to L.T. Lanier and yatah hello

L.T. Lanier: in 1880 Jack is living about 3 doors down from Mary and her daughters and a son.

yatah: yea on davis side and mintz side as far plently information and wait fot 1940 come out i work on

alt: might also look for family of Jack to see if there are other possible connections to Scott & Mary thru his children L.T. Lanier

yatah: just hard find is quiller and darby is brick , vicky

Daviss: oh yeah yatah the 1940 should give you plenty of clues on your quiller and darby

L.T. Lanier: Mary had four other children in the 1870 household Sarah Thomas, Nellie, and Martha.

L.T. Lanier: Nellie and Martha were Walkers

yatah: yeah that why i hold that now i need finish on my mom's side family all name is come from south carolina , st matthew vkn

yatah: i need find of jonathan madison's parents name , vicky

alt: looks like Wanda Sykes is the "big' story this week, huh?

L.T. Lanier: Nellie married a guy named Lewis Cason. Mary had another son John Martin Walker. I think he may have also lived with Scott at one point. in 1910. There were some additions to the family at that time on the censu

yatah: i do have birth date and dead , vicky

L.T. Lanier: I think so alt! 9 generations! Incredible

Daviss: yatah one thing you will have to do when the 1940 census comes out is to go though the census page by page because it will not be indexed...ok

L.T. Lanier: I'm definitely going to make sure that I watch the episode when it airs in May.

Daviss: when was Jonathan born yatah

yatah: april 1910

alt: the NY Times article did mention Paul's work on FPOC and white women having children with enslaved black men.

AYWalton: I saw that, alt. It was a good article.

L.T. Lanier: yes they did. They also mentioned Ira Berlin's work as well.

yatah: and jonathan madison born in ky, lexington, vicky

AYWalton: I see it also mentioned Ms. Cerny the lead genealogist for all of Skip Gates's programs.

vkn: ayw what is claim to fame of Wanda Sykes ?

alt: that's why it is hard for me to get 'shook' up with the FPOC stories.... my entire maternal line follows that pattern so it is most of my research.

yatah: his wife jeanetta hawkins born ky, lexington too

L.T. Lanier: So it would be interesting to see if like the Mozingo family if there are white descendants of the daughter Mary and mother Elizabeth Banks.

AYWalton: She is a popular comendian, and actor vkn.

L.T. Lanier: Do you have 'white' relations alt?

alt: Oh, I'm sure there are L.T. Lanier (Mozingo)

AYWalton: there are lots of families that stem from these families, and I thought I detected a theme that her history was so "rare". It is really not "that" rare.
